Celebrate the autumn season with a fun and creative pumpkin painting workshop!

Little artists will receive their own pumpkin along with a variety of paints and brushes to design a unique creation — no carving required! From spooky faces to colourful patterns, let your imagination run wild and take home a festive masterpiece.

All materials are provided. Suitable for families, groups, and individuals. Come dressed for mess and get ready to get creative!

Please note: At the end of the workshop, your pumpkins may still be wet. You are welcome to leave them in our yurt for an hour or two to dry while you browse our shop or enjoy a tea or coffee in the Vinery Café. Or why not upgrade your visit by purchasing a ticket to explore our Deer Park, Gardens, and Castle?
